Topic: Swope League 2011 (Read 18622 times)

This coming Monday, April 4, Swope League will be getting under way for the season. Tee off will be at 5:30, and we will be playing the short tee pads (just to get us started). Please be registered by 5:15. If you can't make it in time, but want to play, give me a call at 816-665-1906.

This will be my first time running league, so suggestions and constructive criticism will be gladly taken.

It was a lovely evening, with the temps in the mid 40's and 15-20 mph winds. Arturo V. started the round with a 7 after missing the Mando on Hole #1, but came back to win the round. There was a 3-way tie for 2nd, and the 3 decided to have a play off for the cash. Steve H. immediately won the playoff by parking #1 with an easy drop in birdie. With 8 players getting in, the Ace Fund increaes to $314.

Last night was a nice night for some disc golf. The temps were in the mid 60's. with some wind, which died down by the end of the round. For the second week in a row, Arturo V. won the night. Apparently he had a near ace on #7, hitting the top of the basket and bouncing out. The shot of the night: Lee K. shanked his drive on #3, which skipped off the street near #4's tee, rolled into the driveway and eventually rolled back in bounds ending up 30 feet behind #3's basket. We did a CTP for each card with Lee K. and Brian G. each winning a T-shift. With 8 getting into the Ace Fund, it increases to $322.

What a beautiful night for some disc golf. With the wind coming of out the NE around 15 mph, there was some good golf. We had our largest turn out yet, with 10 showing up. Some new faces that have not yet played Swope this year. Now, if we can just get everyone out at the same time...we could have a good turn out. Ted K. won a T-shirt with his CTP ace from #9's tee pad to # 2's short pin. Shot of the night: Arturo V. hitting an ace on #13 from the short pad to win $166.00. So with Arturo winning the ace fund, it drops back down to $166.00 to start next week. Again, we will be teeing off at 6pm.

Looking at the Hour-by-Hour forcast, we are supposed to have thundershowers by 6:00pm tonight. However, I am a very optimistic person and think this rain could hold off. So, as of right now (2:00pm), Swope League is still on for tonight. I will keep an eye on the weather, and hopefully we can still have league tonight. I will let you know.

The forcast is still calling for thunderstorms by 6pm, but I will be out by 5:15 to take registrations. Tee off at 6 for those who want to come. Lets make this the biggest Swope League yet despite the rain chances.

I was right, the rain did hold off until after we finished our rounds, though there was a bit of sprinkling with about 4 holes left. So, though it was dark and humid out, we stayed dry.

We had 8 out for league. There was no wind, and so overall scores were low. Several people had near aces, hitting the chains and spitting through...I heard of at least 4 and witnessed 1. The story of the night was Miles M. hitting two separate turkeys (3 birdies in a row) on the back nine. With 8 getting into the Ace Fund, it goes up to $174. The CTP T-shift also went to Miles M.

I will be vacationing during the week of May 23 and will need someone to cover running league for me that night. I know it is about a month away, but I thought I would get this set up now while I am still thinking about it.
